SUPER PACKAGING POTENTIAL

Kia expects the better-equipped next-step-up 2.0L Soul вЂњ+вЂќ model to represent
the most popular choice. At $14,950, it squares off at the soul (sorry, had to)
of the compact car market, as the segmentвЂ™s most desirable Korean import. Even
Kia admitted that it would cannibalize sales from its Spectra5 model. Upgrades
include alloy wheels, a more powerful 2.0-litre engine, disc brakes, a speaker
upgrade, cruise control, keyless entry, Bluetooth handsfree connectivity,
steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and body colored door handles and
mirrors.

But how is it to drive? Compared with the compact class benchmark Honda
Civic, the Soul also exudes a tied-down feel thatвЂ™s rare in its class. Quick
steering, coupled with good visibility meant I wished for more city streets to
test the carвЂ™s undoubtedly in-town strengths. Kia told us during the
presentation they had benchmarked the Dodge Caliber, Suzuki SX4, Scion xB, and
upcoming Nissan cube вЂ” though for my money IвЂ™d also add the larger Pontiac Vibe
and Toyota Matrix to the list.
